God this was awful. Highly unsatisfactory ending, with equally unsatisfactory middle. Could've been so much better if Sadie and Sam weren't so bad with each other. Childhood friends, my ass. I actually liked the gaming parts a lot. Poor Marx. Can't believe how hyped this was, and how flat it fell. Pffffffft.
Super fun to read as always. Wren was an interesting character to read about, and so was Oak. You guess what's coming from miles away but then get to see it unravel to a satisfying end.
Loved the main trio (quadruple counting Hyacinthe). Their dynamic was fun even though Tiernan was understandably a bit prickly.
Oak was hilarious and delirious!
Wren was that quote from Six of Crows: “When everyone knows you're a monster, you needn't waste time doing every monstrous thing.”
Nope
Only read this to nitpick F1 stuff and to guess which character is based off of which IRL driver.
Noah was Max Verstappen, not Charles Leclerc (Dear God!). Jax was Lewis Hamilton (easy to tell from the tattoos). The blonde hair, blue eyed German (Liam) was Sebastian Vettel. Santi was Carlos?!
Bandini was so clearly Ferrari except Ferrari hasn't won jack since Schumacher
4.5 stars rounded off to 5.
This is such a lovely story about two people writing letters to each other, becoming friends and each other's confidants. It is so hard to have such a close relationship like this with anyone, let alone over letters. This story made me happy and made me cheer for both the characters
Disastrous! Needs all the trigger warnings there are in the world.
Not a love story but more of a let me repeatedly stab you in the back (and in the face) across lifetimes. Don't have a single good thing to say about this book. The plot kept getting worse and worse with every chapter.
If you value your sanity and mental health, don't touch this book with a ten foot pole.
